Spirit of N.S. Crooked Knife

 

Best quality 19th century carved burl handle crooked knife featured in

the legendary magnus opus Spirit of Nova Scotia. This knife has a museum

quality handle of highly figured burl boasting high-relief carved card

suits and delicate chip carving interspersed with cross-hatched scribe

work. Inset ebony dots evoke thoughts of gambling dice, tying in with

the playing card theme.

 

NOTE: This knife was lacking its wire wrap when it was depicted in the

book, so we had the wrapping professionally re-done with the appropriate

brass snare wire, just as it would have originally been done.

 

Dimensions: 9.75"
